V UNITED STATES PATENT O FICE :nnnxammama, or WESTEBLY, mz'onn ATTACHMENT FOR FIPES.

' Specification of Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I ALEXANDER MARK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Westerly, in the county of Washington and State of Rhode Island, have invented new and useful Improvements. in Attachments for Pipes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in an attachment for the mouth pieces of pipes and cigar tips.

One object is to provide such a device for this pur ose as'may be cheaply manufactured an easily ap lied to a pipe or cigar.

Another object o the invention is to provide an attachment for a mouth piece which will protect the tongue and throat from a direct passage of smoke directing the smoke toward the side of the mouth.

These and other objects may be secured by the construction shown in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a tobacco pipe showing m device applied. Fig. 2 is a'plan view part y broken away of the tip of the mouthpiece, the invention being. shown in section. Fig. 3 is a vertical section part1 broken away of the. tip end of the mout I piece of-the ipe. Fig. 4 is a perspective. view "of the evice detached. F 1g. 5 is an elevation of one end of the cigar, showing the device applied thereto.

Referring more particularly to the draw-' mgs, 1 re resents a pi e having the usual bit '2, 1n whic is rovide the'usual smoke passage 3. On t e rear end of the bit is apphed my device. I

My device is composed of apiece of rubber of approximately tubular ,form being cut vertically, transversely and longitudinally as at 4 and 5.to provide an opening 6 and a web portion'7 A When applied to the mouth piece-of the pipe the bodyortion ;8 is slipped overthe 1 end thereof having the web portion standpassing laterally.

sage 3 will strike the web 7 and be directed 1 laterally against the sides of the mouth.

' The device is preferably formed of rubber, but any suitable material may be used. The web portion '7 is ofsuch width as to extend to a slight degree on either end of the outlet passage 3 to insure the smoke As shown in plied to a cigar forming a protecting mouth piece and also a ard for the tongue. In applying the device to a cigar the end is clipped 01f and the device then applied a slight space, as shown, will be formed etween the end of the cigar and the web portion 7.

From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a cheap and simple device, and one which may be readily applied to either a ipe or a cigar and which will fully protect e tongue and throat from the direct impact of the hot smoke.

Having thus described the invention what Ic1aimasnew,is:.'
